Flying Tips & Features
Tips for Safe Operation
• Only fly in large, open spaces free of obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling
fans, etc.
• It is best to fly 2 to 3 ft. from the ground and any obstacles. Flying low to the
ground directs turbulence from the rotors back towards the craft, making it
more difficult to control. Avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft may be drawn
towards them if closer than 2 to 3 feet.
• Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing
the same “forward” direction. This will make it easier to know which direction
the unit is flying.
• Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering and landing.
• Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately, using one
control at a time, to get used to the craft’s flying characteristics.
• If you crash, throttle down the engines IMMEDIATELY to reduce the chance of
permanent damage to the craft and other objects.
• If anything obstructs the rotors for any reason, throttle down IMMEDIATELY and
safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.
Speed Setting
The craft has three settings for the responsiveness of the flight controls. The higher
settings allow for faster and more precise control of the craft. Novice pilots are
recommended to start with the lowest setting.
